yeh, sadly most hard trance artists make a shit sound, use the same cliche gash sounds, scot project style kick drums, bass and synths. SHOKK and flutlicht used to be different but theyre not around anymore. i mean, i like to play hard trance but there is only ever the odd decent tune among the millions (infact hardly that these days) that sounds different and good now that marco guardia has hung up his producing boots. i mean, most of the decent hard stuff is more tech trancey, stuff like innergy - dynomite or that mucho - dont snare at me.
however this year ingo has rescued the harder sound for me. he's ditched the shitty cliche hardhouse and started producing some good hard tech trance/hard trance. tunes like:
ingo vs. eseni - scare tactics
mda & spherical vs. greg brookman - levitation (ingo remix)
ingo vs. anne savage - never never land
ingo vs. danny gilligan - now is the time |
To be honest I've never heared of Ingo...but I will sure check it out! I do agree on your statement too. A lot of hardtrance is sounding the same lately, becoming less original. Especially this year was pretty poor. Although SHOKK is still around (Woodshokk (Marcel Woods & Shokk) - Tulips & Chocolate), it's only DJ Natron who still performs under the Flutlicht-guise (Dance Valley Winter Edition) but there won't be any tracks, no. It's a shame, because Flutlicht rocked! But well, I just hang on to the gems that are still around and the memories some tracks gave me this years. But I must say that there are some hardtranceartists who have a sound not based on Scot Project, I think DuMonde has got a pretty unique sound IMO. If I hear a track of them it's always immidiately reconizable as a track of theirs.
